photo hunt — "orange"


The day after a couple of tornadoes blew through here last
month, the big orange forestry trucks (yes, NYC has a Dept. 
of Forestry—who knew?) were out in force.  Before the day was 
half over the only evidence of what had happened was a lot of
"Caution" tape and a mountain of mulch! (And of course some 
empty spaces where beautiful old trees used to be—sigh.) 


The same spot 18 hours earlier.

  2. That's a great orange shot. I had no idea NYC had a forestry department either!

    Tornados are never any fun.

  4. Tornado in NYC, wow, I had not heard, nice shot of the orange trucks.
    I also love your shot of the sunset, beautiful, and of the gilded ceiling in Venice, both amazing shots!

  7. Wow! a department of forestry? that is so cool.
    I just read Obama has provided federal funds for disaster relief due to the destruction those tornadoes caused.

  8. Very efficient that they dealt with it so quickly ~ just such a shame it happened in the first place. We had a kicker of a storm here a few years ago that took out some massive trees, including one across the road. I cried!
